Good afternoon all,
I've got my father's 914, a 2.0 from 1975. Even though it's never seen a winter, I have a pretty good hell hole going. It's to the point where if you lift the passenger side from the jack point, the door gap begins to widen. Interstingly, the jack point seems good. Anyway, is there anyone in the Detroit area you can recommend to fix this? I'm not looking for perfection - assume I've got a wife that hates the car and would be verry upset if I sank some big money into this (I know, a relative term - let's say more than $3,000.00.) I'll try to post a pic of the hole. Thanks for the input! Jon G. |

keep in mind that the hell hole is probably not the only thing the car needs.
if spending the money will cause problems at home, you may want to just keep it in the garage, out of the elements for the time being. wife's happiness comes first. brad in indiana - http://www.914ltd.com/ jim |

Everything works. Even the clock. The car runs and stops just fine (one exception - I need an oil cooler, the seals went bad, it's either plugged or gunked up inside or outisde in the shroud area. But until I stop the car becuase of the oil issue or overheating, it runs like a champ. |
